Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavior
of Medical Residents toward Adult
Patients Who Have Experienced
Adverse Childhood Experiences—

Background and Brief Description
Recent advances in public health and
medical research have underscored the
role childhood trauma plays in the
genesis of major risk factors for the
leading causes of morbidity and
mortality among adults in the United
States. Evidence from a range of samples
suggests that exposure to adverse
childhood experiences (ACEs) is more
common than previously understood,
and that those affected by ACEs will
have a major impact on the delivery of
health care services through higher
utilization and treatment costs.
Although these findings are widely
cited by psychologists, psychiatrists,
and social workers, it is less clear that
this information has circulated broadly
within medical professions where it
may be helpful in secondary and tertiary
prevention of health problems. The
literature also suggests that physicians
may be uncomfortable with screening
adult patients for ACEs.
As part of ongoing efforts to reduce
the burden of chronic disease, the
Division of Adult and Community
Health at CDC seeks to collect
information about the penetration into
current medical education of evidence
concerning the relationship between
ACEs and poor adult health.
Information will be collected by
administering a brief voluntary
questionnaire to 300 fourth-year
medical residents. The sample will be
drawn from a range of U.S. medical
schools as well as through the American
Medical Student Association. Potential
participants will be solicited via e-mail,
and those who choose to participate will
be directed via a web-link to a web-
based survey instrument.
Information to be collected includes
residency type, public health
experience, and an attitudes and
knowledge measure designed to
determine medical residents’ current
expertise in recognizing the long-term
outcomes associated with adverse
childhood experiences.
By understanding the quality of
medical education in this area and the
attitudes, beliefs, and experiences of
medical residents, educational
initiatives can be developed that will
address the unmet needs of future
physicians to care for the large number
of patients burdened by ACEs.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
